Thanks for the suggestions. As I noted, “my hosts are still running oVirt node 
3.6.” As in, I’m not running a general purpose EL7 installation – I’m running 
the stripped down oVirt node 3.6 image which is based on EL7 but can’t be 
upgraded (via yum) as in a normal OS install. After digging through some 
assorted pages (e.g. http://www.ovirt.org/node/) , it looks like oVirt Node has 
undergone an extensive redesign since 4.x . So I’ll rebuild all my hosts.

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

The upgrade process should be performed by upgrading all your clusters first to 
4.x and after all your clusters were upgraded then the Data Center should be 
also upgraded to the desired version.

The hosts might also need to be upgraded by yum update.
Sandro, correct me if I'm wrong, is there a wiki regarding the Host upgrade 
process?

If the hosts are already EL7 you can upgrade using Upgrade manager 
https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/engine/upgrademanager/
Otherwise you'll have to reinstall hosts with EL7 one by one.

For hosted engine you can follow 
https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/hosted-engine-migration-to-4-0/

So I’ve successfully upgraded my oVirt engine to 4.0.4, but my hosts are still 
running oVirt node 3.6 and the cluster and data center is still in 3.6 
compatibilty mode. All of the oVirt documentation I’ve found is referencing 
3.x. Can someone point me to updated documentation – does it exist? I found the 
equivalent documentation for the commercial product, RHV, but it 
(https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-virtualization/4.0/paged/upgrade-guide/32-upgrading-to-red-hat-virtualization-manager-40)
 doesn’t really address upgrading hosts from 3.6 to 4.x. Do 3.6 hosts have to 
be removed, wiped, and rebuilt from scratch? Or can they be upgraded to 4.x 
from the manager, or by booting from the 4.x ISO?

Thanks,
Daniel
